[Kst] Interpolation

[Brisset, Nicolas]

Hi Steve,

I tried it as well and noticed the same as Barth. Even if the plugin does not always crash, it returns NaN vectors. We need to fix the crash, but for the NaNs the best we can do is probably skip (or interpolate) them as Barth suggested.
However, I have one hint for your case where actually the sampling is different: you could use the range settings to skip every other point on reading the vector.
In the page where you select the type of plots and the ranges (after you've selected the vectors), in the upper part you could set Start to 0, and click the "Read 1 sanple per" box and set 2 frames in the spinbox right to it. Then kst skips the NaNs.

Hi Steve,

Hmm.... Unfortunately, it turns out that Kst does not really support your case here :-(

The missing values are interpreted as NaNs (which seems pretty reasonable).
But the interpolation plugin does not support NaNs (and crashes).

The crashes in the existing plugins are bugs which should be fixed.  I think the fix could be done so that it would automatically be able to have them interpolate over NaNs.

So: Could you submit this as a bug so we don't forget about it?
